Split Entity framework 6 provider from the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll into a new DLL to avoid incompatibilties when using the DDEX Provider and trying to use EF6 in applications
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DNET-522
                 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-522
             Project: .NET Data provider
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ADO.NET Provider, DDEX Provider, Entity Framework support
    Affects Versions: vNext
         Environment: Windows 8, Visual Studio 2012, .net 4.5 and EF6
            Reporter: André Ziegler
            Assignee: Jiri Cincura
            Priority: Critical


Problem:

When you use the DDEX provider in Visual Studio you need to install the (non EF6) FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll into the GAC. When you now try to use EF6, the provider from the GAC (non EF6) is used all the time and this results in errors, because the EF6 requires new providers.


Solution:

Split Entity framework 6 provider from the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll into a new DLL (maybe follow the Microsoft Naming convention what Microsoft does with their EG6 provider (EntityFramework.SqlServer) and name it EntityFramework.Firebird). Now the VS/DDEX can use the non EF6 version from GAC and EF6 projects can use the EntityFramework.Firebird without having issues.
